- Cuisine: American
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4–5 large eggs
- 1 pound cooked and crumbled beef sausage or finely chopped and cooked beef bacon
- 1 to 1.5 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack blend recommended)
- Optional: finely diced bell peppers
- Optional: finely chopped onions
- Optional: fresh spinach (wilted and squeezed dry)
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- Onion powder to taste
- Optional: hot sauce to taste
- Optional: smoked paprika to taste
- Prepare Your Filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook your crumbled beef sausage or chopped beef bacon until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease and set aside. In the same skillet, scramble your eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until just set but slightly soft. If using optional veggies, sauté them in a little oil until tender-crisp. Let all cooked ingredients cool slightly.
- Combine the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese. If you sautéed any veggies, add them in now. Stir to ensure everything is evenly mixed and let the filling cool slightly.
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Unroll the Crescent Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate each triangle.
- Stuff the Rolls: Take one crescent roll triangle and place a generous spoonful of the cheesy breakfast filling at the wide end of the triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end, gently roll the crescent dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides slightly to seal the filling. Bend the ends inward to form the crescent shape, ensuring the pointed tip is tucked underneath.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Optionally, brush the tops with an egg wash. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Let the rolls cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter. They are best enjoyed warm!
